It is the HIGHT OF ARROGANCE to consider that man has even a noticable
impact on climate, short of redirecting water and latent-heat flow by
rerouting a river from one body of water to another (like what is being
done in China).

The biggest destroyer of ozone is Chlorine....99.95% of which
is introduced into the atmosphere BY THE OCEANS.
Admiral Byrd detected increased UV radiation at the South Pole
around the year 1900.
There is ***ZERO*** data to support the *conjecture* that the
ozone layer is thinner now than it was 100 years ago...let alone
that it is due to the behavior of man.

Shit happens. In the late 1600's, there was ONE YEAR, which
contemporary
writers called, "The Year Without a Summer" wherein the entire
spring/summer/fall sequence of months had temperatures approximately
20 F degrees (12 C) lower than normal.
How did mankind induce this anomoly, and what did we due to restore
the prevailing climate to normal?

Go find the photos...it's quite obvious that a patch was cleared with
some sort of sea-fencing. The perimeter of the North Pole "hole"
is clogged with piled-up sheet-ice....indicative of "crop-circle"
shenanigans.

Then how come US nuclear subs REGULARLY find hole and surface at
the North Pole??? They have been doing this continously for over
40 years.

It was either pushed aside by using some sort of "bulldozer method",
or a perimeter gradually expanded by netting while boats outside
the perimeter broke up the sheet-ice.

More typical fucking marxist disinformation bullshit lies.
The president doesn't have the authority to spend a single penny.
Reagan chided congress into lowering taxes. The economic growth
that ensued caused tidal wave of increased tax revenues...
But the DEMOCRATS (i.e. Marxist socialists) decided that this would
be horrible to let go unmolested, so they INCREASED SPENDING at
such a rate that for every new dollar of tax revenues, the Democrats
enacted THREE dollars of spending increases.

Personally, I hope the asshole puts all of his money in bonds...and

Well, I'll have to point out that's not the way you seem to characterize
it when you first mentioned it to me. Well, I should say you seem to
characterize it as being in response to your being part of KDE. Where
you got the idea that I was referring only to messages about harmony and
the alleged threat, I have no idea.

Then what exactly did you mean when you said:
"Yes, we know cliff's-edge pricing made it
cheaper for them to buy 120% Windows instead of 99% Windows; that's the
point."
If "WE" know that - what was the pricing? It's that simple, you made the
statement "cliffs-edge" pricing. So you must know what the prices were, even
a rough figure will do....otherwise your pulling shit out of your ass and
trying to pass it off as fact (lying).

'Embrace and extend' is an anti-trust issue, not a copyright issue.
That is the point. It gets around copyright by treating it as a patent
that can be made obsolete, essentially. Its monopolization, not
infringement. It has nothing to do with copyright infringement.

So you don't understand the complexities of supporting 6 different OS's, the
costs involved, and how much work that would be with today's applications?
Then QUIT SUGGESTING THAT IT WOULD BE EASY, OR "DEALABLE WITH".
The software companies decide who they want to support. It's their choice.
Not yours. If you want to start a software company supporting six different
OS's, then it's your business -- feel free.
